MGM is preparing a prequel for ”Robocop”
It looks like the MGM studio has taken on the construction of the film and television universe "Robocop". First came the news from Hollywood that the owners of the franchise were planning to shoot a direct sequel to the 1987 action movie, which would ignore the events of the not very successful sequels. It has now become known that MGM is considering a TV prequel.“I'm working on a series about transforming Richard Jones into the ruthless vice president of Omni Consumer Products Corporation,” said original RoboCop writer Edward Neumeier. -I hope we will receive an order for the production of a pilot series and convince MGM management of the project's prospects”. Obviously, the show is in the early stages of development. At first glance, the idea of creating a project without Robocop itself seems dubious, but there have already been examples of successful prequels of popular franchises on American TV. Consider Gotham, which told about the rise of Batman's greatest enemies.  The last time Robocop visited the screen was in 2014. The remake of the cult action movie received mixed reviews in the press, but earned more than $ 242 million on a $ 100 million budget.
